Some political leaders like Jagdambika Pal of Congress, Sabir Ali and N K Singh of JD (U) to name a few, not only learned the lesson but accepted Narendra Modi as their leader. Karunanidhi to Jaggan Reddy have praised Narendra Modi. Sharad Pawar and Farooq Abdulla have kept their options open by praising Modi on and off.

But, there are few who still need to
learn the lesson. And, that is the reason of penning part-II of the
article titled 'Treat Modi as political opponent, not as enemy - I',
whose first part had appeared on this platform on 24 July 2013. One
of the basis of the earlier article was the poetic justice. It
continues in this also.

USA learned his lesson the hard way.
The USA, which thinks of itself as a indispensable nation positioned
successfully itself as unwanted nation in India by goofing up on it's
dealing with Devyani Khobragade, an Indian Foreign Service officer.
All it's posturing on providing 'Visa' (which was never asked for, in
the first place) to Narendra Modi has resulted in almost Vietnamese
consequence.

Under, Nitish Kumar's governance in
Bihar, there were several bomb blasts during Narendra Modi's rally in
Patna. Narendra Modi answered the bomb blast with the following
statement: "Let Hindus and Muslims together and work towards
ending poverty. Our religion is India first. We have to maintain
peace and harmony at any cost." Today Nitish Kumar is not sure
how many MP and MLA are left in his party.

Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, whose
party survives by abusing Narendra Modi, listed his Muslim-friendly
credentials at a large rally gathering in Azamgarh. He claimed that
he wore clothes stitched only by Muslim tailors and his hair was cut
only by Muslim barbers. Azam Khan, said about Mulayam SIngh in the
same rally that he once told him that "I am (Mulayam Singh) a
Muslim only". After Muzaffarnagar riots Mulayam was not allowed
inside Aligarh Muslim University and today he doesn't know what he
is?

But there are Congress leaders and its
leadership, which hasn't learnt the lesson yet, even after getting
thrashed in assembly elections across India. Congress Lok Sabha
candidate from Saharanpur, Imran Masood says
"If Modi tries to make Uttar Pradesh into Gujarat, then we will
chop him into tiny pieces...I am not scared of getting killed or
attacking someone. I will fight against Modi. He thinks UP is
Gujarat. Only 4% Muslims are there in Gujarat while there are 42%
Muslims in UP,". Imran Masood has been arrested under the
directive of Election Commission, but Rahul Gandhi campaigns for
him!!!!

No one can deny that Congress treats
Narendra Modi as an enemy rather than political opponent.

Now the question is what could be
poetic justice for Congress. Well according to me, we might see
Mahatma Gandhi's dream come true.

Six Weeks after the assassin of Gandhi,
47 Gandhi followers came together on 13 March 1948, in Sevagram to
ask themselves; Who Will Guide Them Now?

Gopal Krishna Gandhi edited and
published the record of the above meeting in the form a book titled
“Gandhi is Gone: Who Will Guide Us Now?” Following are few
excerpts from the book/meeting:

13 March 1948,

Meeting starts at 8:00 AM

Nehru arrives at 8:50 AM

Jawaharlal Nehru: ..…Bapu had planned
a Lok Seva Sangh; that was fine in itself, but what Bapu prescribed
was not a political institution. The implication was that Congress
should be dissolved …

(In the introduction of the book Gopal
Krishna Gandhi writes: “Bereft & brave, Pyarelal reminds the
conference of his master’s ‘Last Will and Testament’ in which
he had proposed disbanding the Congress..)

Rahul Gandhi thinks Congress is an idea
hence it can't be wiped pot. While in reality, idea gets replaced by
ideas only. Narendra Modi is an idea. When Digvijay Singh says both
RSS and BJP are run by Modi; he means that BJP and RSS are run by
Good Governance and Development. Good Governance and Development are
synonym of Narendra Modi.

Modi is not an individual anymore, Modi
has become an “idea”. One can neither stop an idea whose time has
come nor can size it up; but only accept it or get vanquished.

I am saying it for the second time,
because everyone can't understand everything at the first instance.
It is a factor of IQ, which naturally varies from individual to
individual.
